servicing to qualified service person-
nel.
Do not spill any liquids into the cabi-
❖
net or use your monitor near water.
Do not insert objects of any kind into
❖
the cabinet slots, as they may touch
dangerous voltage points, which can
be harmful or fatal or may cause elec-
tric shock, fire or equipment failure.
Do not place any heavy objects on
❖
the power cord. Damage to the cord
may cause shock or fire.
Do not place this product on a slop-
❖
ing or unstable surface, as the moni-
tor may fall, causing serious damage.
Do not place any objects onto the
❖

bylaws or rules of
your municipality to dispose of the
tube properly.

❖
tured, humid, dusty, or oily areas.

❖
mally by following operating instruc-
tions.
If glass is broken, handle with care.
❖
If monitor or glass is broken, do not
❖
come in contact with the liquid crys-
tal and handle with care.
Allow adequate ventilation around
❖
the monitor so that heat can properly
dissipate. Do not block ventilated
openings or place the monitor near
a radiator or other heat sources. Do
not put anything on top of monitor.
The power cable connector is the pri-
❖
mary means of detaching the system
from the power supply. The monitor
should be installed close to a power
outlet which is easily accessible.
Handle with care when transporting.
❖
Save packaging for transporting.
Image Persistence: Please be aware
❖
that LCD Technology may experi-
ence a phenomenon known as Image
Persistence.
Safety Precautions and Maintenance
Image Persistence occurs when a re-
❖
sidual or "ghost" image of a previous
image remains visible on the screen.
Unlike CRT monitors, LCD moni-
tors' image persistence is not per-
manent, but constant images being
displayed for a long period of time
should be avoided. To alleviate im-
age persistence, turn off the monitor
for as long as the previous image was
displayed. For example, if an image
was on the monitor for one hour, the
monitor should be turned off for one
hour to erase the image.
When operating the LaCie 500 Se-
❖
ries LCD Monitor with a 220-240V
AC power source in Europe, use the
power cord provided with the moni-
tor.
In the UK, a BS approved power cord
❖
with a moulded plug has a Black (five
Amps) fuse installed for use with this
equipment.
If a power cord is not supplied with
❖
this equipment please contact your
supplier.
When operating the LaCie 500 Se-
❖
ries LCD Monitor with a 220-240V
AC power source in Australia, use the
power cord provided with the moni-
tor. If a power cord is not supplied

your supplier.
For all other cases, use a power cord
❖
that matches the AC voltage of the
power outlet and has been approved
by and complies with the safety stan-
dard of your particular country.
